Solution
The correct option is B Mesocarp
Coconut fibre commonly known as coir is obtained from coconut husk which is mesocarp. Endocarp is the hard, stony layer of the coconut (Cocos nucifera).
Coir is a type of natural fiber obtained from the mesocarp layer of coconut. It is a versatile fiber used in manufacturing mats, ropes, mattresses, brushes, etc.
Mesocarp is a coarse hairy and husky layer present between the hard endocarp and membranous epicarp of the coconut fruit. Coir cannot be obtained from epicarp, endocarp, or any of the parts of the fruit. It is only obtained from the mesocarp.
Epicarp is the outer coat of coconut which is green-colored in a tender coconut.
Hence the correct option is option B.
